"I have already earned their...well, respect may not be the right word, but they both have certainly been shown  not to underestimate us. My point is that we know this enemy and how to fight them. So as long as you are willing to judge them fairly, then I am satisfied. It is all I ask. You may rest if you wish. I will not call on you for the rest of the day, unless you come to seek me out." Meesei answered before turning to take her leave.

Lorag paced just around the outside of the pair's fighting area. "Goin' berserk ain't gonna help you here. Pay attention, use that brain of yours."

Julan did not have the most control compared to others of his age, but he was at least not struggling for the moment. He did not feel terribly threatened by Narsi, nor was she prey, so the beast did not have cause to resist his mind. He swung wide at about Narsi's shoulder height, aiming to strike her with his palm rather than his massive claws. His swing had a long windup as he had to turn his whole body towards her, and he simply had a lot of weight to move. Even an inexperienced fighter could easily see what he was doing long before he did it, though even if her sword was in the way, his swing was not stopping. Since she did not attempt to dodge, she was easily knocked straight to her back. 

"A werecrocodile has armored scales, and a lot of meat to cut through under it. Even a real sword wouldn't have hurt him much there. Only hits that are goin' to count here are hefty thrusts to vital spots." Lorag commented.
